Chapter 894: Chapter 396: Abyss!
"Not a bad reaction!"
The bald man’s voice appeared beside Xu Ran, with a tone that seemed to mock him, utterly unconcerned.
"There are plenty of good moves!"
Xu Ran didn’t hold back at all, turning his head toward the source of the voice.
He saw.
Xu Ran holding the Silver Light Iron Sword in his left hand, reversed grip, standing above his head, the sword body shielding his entire body.
As for the bald man, he held a bizarrely shaped Human Bone Rusty Sword with both hands, the sword continuously emitting dark red mist, perfectly merging with the Silver Light Iron Sword.
Moreover, on the body of this strange Human Bone Rusty Sword, there seemed to be an illusory backdrop.
Upon closer inspection, it was the curved Human Bone Rusty Sword that had been devoured earlier.
"Then let me see what you have learned!"
After speaking, the bald man exerted force with the Human Bone Rusty Sword held in both hands.
Instantly.
The ground beneath Xu Ran, who was standing, suddenly collapsed, cracks spreading like a web to the surroundings.
"Such power!"
Xu Ran felt the ground beneath him cracking, surprised at heart.
Unexpectedly, the Human Bone Rusty Sword in the bald man’s hand could unleash such a powerful force, shaking the ground into fissures.
Moreover, this enormous pressure transmitted directly to his hand through the Silver Light Iron Sword, instantly increasing his pressure.
Sweat constantly beaded on his forehead, and the immense pressure caused his veins to bulge.
"I can’t go on like this!"
Although Xu Ran appeared relaxed while deflecting the bald man’s previous strike, it was but the simplest sword technique move.
Moreover, Xu Ran had been prepared earlier, immediately detecting the signs of space fluctuations, allowing him to fend off the first strike.
If the sword technique was only like this, it would be fine.
But.
Now the bald man wasn’t using sword techniques to maneuver but directly suppressing Xu Ran with power!
Though this trial is about swordsmanship, who says you can’t use power to dominate?
Furthermore, the bald man being the Gatekeeper of this trial, he can perform as he wishes.
Swiftly, Xu Ran eradicated the chaotic thoughts from his mind, his eyes becoming solemn.
"Can’t continue like this, must escape first!"
Currently.
The bald man directly used the combined power of the two swords to suppress him.
Under such immense pressure, even with Xu Ran’s advanced swordsmanship, he couldn’t perform effectively, as he was pinned by the bald man, unable to break free.
Realizing continuation proved futile, Xu Ran decisively made a decision.
His eyes emitted a faint golden light, an invisible force rising slowly from beneath his feet, the newly refined calf bones.
Although in the first trial, all Spiritual Qi besides his legs was sealed.
Upon reaching the swordsmanship trial, the newly refined calf bones remained unsealed; otherwise, the bald man could have easily slain him using speed before wielding the sword.
Thus.
Once unsealed during a trial, power will remain unsealed, always preserved.
As the calf bone power emanated.
Instantly.
The cracked ground beneath Xu Ran shattered, several fist-sized stones flying from the ground into the air.
"Tap--- tap--- tap---"
Upon seeing this, Xu Ran’s figure disappeared, only hearing several crisp sounds of stepping in the high air.
Simultaneously, several fist-sized stones fell from the high air.
Tracing the descending stones, Xu Ran’s figure now appeared high above.
The bald man looked up, unaffected by Xu Ran’s action.
"Skillful application of Leg Technique!"
The bald man wasn’t displeased by Xu Ran’s escape from his sword, rather somewhat excited.
Being the trial’s Gatekeeper, Xu Ran’s adept use of the initial Leg Technique proved his teaching was effective.
Though verbally praising, his hand moved with no reservation.
He raised the strange Human Bone Rusty Sword.
Instantly.
Dark red mist spread from it, enveloping the bald man completely within a breath, his tall figure mirrored in the red mist, like a demon returned from Hell, extremely eerie.
"What is he doing?"
High above, Xu Ran stared at the bald man below, puzzled.
Just moments ago, he mastered all Basic Sword Techniques from the first Human Bone Rusty Sword, which enabled him to pass the first sword trial.
Yet.
No prior Basic Sword Techniques housed such a move.
Though.
Xu Ran was unaware of any High Tier Swordsmanship currently.
But all High Tier Swordsmanship originates from Basic Sword Techniques, logically linked.
Now, the bald man’s action had no correlation with previous Basic Sword Techniques, puzzling Xu Ran.
Not only Xu Ran felt baffled.
Even the observing senior brother and sisters found the bald man’s move bewildering.
"What is he doing?" The junior sister watched the bald man, confused. "Is there such a move in swordsmanship?"
Sword, a gentleman’s weapon.
An offensive weapon both sharp and elegant, even those who aren’t true Sword Cultivators often choose swords as their Weapon of choice.
